History Film / UltramanZearth

* BehemothBattle: The climaxes of both movies, naturally with Ultraman Zearth facing the tag-team of Cotton-pope and Alien Benzene, and then Shadow Zearth.

* StupidStatementDanceMix: MYDO gains its own soundtrack in the sequel... which is basically the words "MYDO" repeated again and again and again. Its supposed to inspire strength and power among the defense forces, but it ends up sounding rather hilarious (very likely intentional).
--> '''MYDO Theme''': "MYDO, MYDO, MY-MY-MY DO, MYYYYYY.... DO! MYDO, MYDO!"

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: Ultraman Zearth’s tornado spin which deflects every attack directed at him and allows him to finally kick some ass back on the monsters.

''Ultraman Zearth'' is a 2-movie series produced by Tsuburaya, part of the Franchise/UltraSeries, featuring Zearth, a parody of the typical Ultramen, being an accident-prone klutz not quite adept at being a superhero, but still dedicated to his job.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Cotton-pope, the Alien Benzenes, and Shadow Zearth all have threatening, glowing red eyes.

** Alien Benzene's plan has his monster, Cotton-Pope, steal all of Earth's gold in order to absorb it himself to increase his own strength. He then kidnaps Zearth's friends in order to lure him in destroying his monster with his Speciu-shula Beam in order to trigger an EarthShatteringKaboom and absorb the golden power underneath it. His plan would have worked too if it wasn't for MYDO's warning and even then he still had a back-up plan in using Zearth's {{Hypochondria}} against him - a feat only done before by Commander Black from ''Series/UltramanLeo''.

* VileVillainSaccharineShow: For all the silliness and ridiculousness contained in both movies the villains are still legitimate threats to Earth:
** Alien Benzene and Cotton-pope are still genuinely threatening and dangerous foes that would not seem out of place in a darker show like ''Series/{{Ultraseven}}'' or ''Series/UltramanLeo''. The former's plan has the latter steal all of Earth's gold in order to absorb it himself to increase his own strength. He then kidnaps Zearth's friends in order to lure him in destroying his monster with his Speciu-shula Beam in order to trigger an EarthShatteringKaboom and absorb the golden power underneath it. His plan would have worked too if it wasn't for MYDO's warning and even then he still had a back-up plan in using Zearth's {{Hypochondria}} against him.

* VileVillainSaccharineShow:
** For all the silliness and ridiculousness contained in the first movie, Alien Benzene and Cotton-pope are still genuinely threatening and dangerous foes that would not seem out of place in a darker show like ''Series/{{Ultraseven}}'' or ''Series/UltramanLeo'' .

* TerrifiedOfGerms: Asahi have a severe case of {{Hypochondria}}, and freaks out when getting slight traces of dirt on him. This even carries over in his Ultra form, which of course Alien Benzene [[GenreSavvy gleefully exploits]]. Averted in the sequel however, Zearth is no longer hypochondriac at that point.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Ultraman Zearth is afraid of dirt and slime. Even a little bit of dust is enough to make his human form freak out! Naturally he had to learn how to get over his fears in the end of the first movie.

* VileVillainSaccharineShow: For all the silliness and ridiculousness contained in the movie, Alien Benzene and Cotton-pope are still genuinely threatening and dangerous foes that would not seem out of place in a darker show like ''Series/{{Ultraseven}}'' or ''Series/UltramanLeo''.

* VileVillainSaccharineShow: Much like the first movie, in the new BigBad, Lady-Benzene proves to be a seriously threatening villain despite starring in a silly parody movie, being cunning, manipulative, dangerous, and even succeeds in abducting entire populations of cities – a feat repeated only by [[Film/UltramanSaga Alien Bat]] and [[Film/UltramanGeedTheMovieConnectThemTheWishes Gilbaris]] decades later.

* EatDirtCheap: Cotton-pope’s diet consists of gold, which is the source of its (and alien Benzene’s) powers.

* TheDoorSlamsYou: In an early scene, Asahi tries chasing after Akuma’s car, only for the car door to swing open and smack Asahi in the face.
* {{Expy}}: Midori, the MasterComputer of MYDO which analyzes data and tactics in battling monsters, resembles a [[GenderInvertedTrope female version]] of [[Film/{{Tron}} MCP from Tron]]

* VileVillainSaccharineShow: For all the silliness and ridiculousness contained in the movie, Alien Benzene and Cotton-pope are still genuinely threatening and dangerous fopes that would not seem out of place in a darker show like ''Series/{{Ultraseven}}'' or ''Series/UltramanLeo''.

* MegatonPunch: How Shadow Zearth defeats Ultraman Zearth in the opening. Its strong enough to knock Zearth flying backwards before falling down flat, and in the next shot Zearth’s [[EyeScream entire eye is now glowing red]].

* YouHaveToBelieveMe: The [[ReoccurringExtra random auntie]] who, on more than one occasion in the first movie, saw the MYDO Jet transport taking off from their ElaborateUndergroundBase at their gas station front, and tries convincing other passer-bys of what she has seen.

* MeaningfulName: Combined with BilingualBonus, Alien Benzene’s human form is named Akuma Ogami, or [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast “Demon God”]].
* MonumentalDestruction: The Kiyomizu Temple of Kyoto had its gold exterior absorbed and completely sucked away by Cotton-pope, leaving the entire monument a rusty grey ruin.

* VileVillainSaccharineShow: For all the silliness and ridiculousness contained in the movie, Alien Benzene and Cotton-pope are still genuinely threatening and dangerous fopes that would not seem out of place in a darker show like Series/{{Ultraseven}} or Series/UltramanLeo.

** Kohji Moritsugu who plays Captain Ban Satsuma earlier portrayed Dan Moroboshi / Series/{{Ultraseven}}. When Asahi summons the capsule kaiju Miraclon, Captain Ban gives in a meaningful nod in approval.
** One of the civilians caught in Shadow Zearth’s rampage is none other than Susumu Kurobe a.k.a the original Series/{{Ultraman}}. He jokingly pulls out a spoon thinking it was his Beta Capsule, something he did thirty years ago in episode 34 of his show, before realizing he’s in an alternate universe where he’s NOT Ultraman anymore.

* ContinuityNod: When discussing Shadow Zearth’s potential weakness, Manabu cites the colour timer as an example, referencing the final episode of the original Series/{{Ultraman}} where Ultraman gets defeated by Zetton when his colour timer gets struck by Zetton’s energy beam.

* HenshinHero: Katsuto Asahi, who transforms into UltramanZearth by [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext brushing his teeth]].

** One of the civilians caught in Shadow Zearth’s rampage is none other than Susumu Kurobe a.k.a the original Seires/{{Ultraman}}. He jokingly pulls out a spoon thinking it was his Beta Capsule, something he did thirty years ago in episode 34 of his show, before realizing he’s in an alternate universe where he’s NOT Ultraman anymore.

* MassHypnosis: Shadow Zearth, using the MindControlBeam in his eyes, is capable of hypnotizing a mass portion of the entire city at once.

* EarthShatterinKaboom: Invoked. Due to Cotton-pope’s unstable body structure and the high amounts of energy it is loaded with, its death will cause a massive nuclear explosion that could reduce planet Earth into particles. Team MYDO had to warn Ultraman Zearth against using his beam attack directly on the monster during the battle.
